No Living by Crops Alone.
New York Tribune.


He is not the best farmer who realizes
the most money from given number of
acres, but he who, while producing the
largest crops possible with the facilities
at hand, does not fail to keep everything
trim and attractive the house and
grounds in order, fences in good condi-
ton (those around the house painted Or
whitewashed), the yard covered with turf,
dotted with trees and shrubbery; the back
yard as neat as tie front, not a single
corner for rubbish; the kitchen garden
free from weeds and full of every vege-
table in its season. In the household
everything that tends to the comfort of
the family will be at hand. At the barn
everything can be ia place, no loose
boards ana litter about the yard, no holes
of dirty water, no implements wasting in
the weather. A good farmer will be am
bilious to have good road by his prem
ises, even gratis labor will be given 20
this end. In many places trees will be
planted along the way, and healthy trim
med hedges tahe the place of unsightly
zigzag fences. The roadside will be
moved in proper season, thus destroying
weeds and keeping along the border a
plot of nice, green grass. Thus In every
thing pertaining to the farm the farmer
will not only keep before his mind the
profit to be derived, but will often be con-
tent with less money in order that ths
love for the beautiful and good may be
cultivated and the highest type of man
crops of grain and herds of fine stock.

Shrinking back from the turbulent street,
And the sun through the unlimited windows shone

Like blessing beseeching to meet.

To hear the good minister pray,
Was that cause for unkneelng stranger TO
lose
The prayer, and to let his eyes stray?
It was not Then suppose that his straying eyes
met
Just over the top of pew
And beneath nat laughing with feathers and

Two eyes OF heavenly blue
Was that very susceptible stranger to blame
If be heard not the minister's prayer,
If he thought of the creature and guessed at her
name,
And forgot the Creator up there?
You insist that twas wrong Well, perhaps you

When she kneels in the old-fashioned way.

About the Pythons.
Cassen's Natu al History.

These reptiles are occasionally found
of great size, End are the largest of the
snakes. They are fortunately not com
mon7 and yet they have a very wide and
somewhat remarkable geogra phicaI dis
trlbution. Thew are found In the hottest
parts of Africa, Asia and the Eastern
Archipelago, and Australia according to
Guenther, and link together these distant
lands in former continental space. For
the pgthons although liking water and
swimming, could not, and do not, pass
from land to land by sea; and, therefore,
the ancestors of those in the separated
districts were once free to invade over
the ancient and now partly sunken inter
venlng lands. Living to a great age,
having few enemies, except man, they
reach the length of thirty feet, and have
the circumference in their largest part of
that of the body Of a man. But those
having the length of from Is feet to 20
feet are rare, and the commonest are
found within that length, and their thick
ness is that of a mans thigh. Climbing
as well as swimming, and able to move
rap1diy over the ground, the rock snakes,
constituting the genus Python, attack ami
mails such as small deer and others of the
same size, and birds. They seize their
prey after the fashion of other non-venos
nous snakes, with their teeth, and then
coil their body around it in few or sew
eral folds, crushing and smothering it.
They occasionally kill larger animals
than they can swallow; but when one Is
within their coils which can be got
down, the head of the victim is taken
in first, and then the rest follows slowly,
and the passage, often difficult enough In
consequence of the size, hairs, horns, or
feathers, is assisted by the production of
lubricating saliva. 1t is curious
sight to see couple of ducks, seized one
after the other, and bolted by a captive
python, and it is evident that after the
meal the creature seems very disinclined
TO move. In state of nature, if large
animal has been swallowed, the python
becomes torpid aud may be easily killed.
They have the character of being fierce
and of showing great determination
when brought TO bay. They grow slowly
and Que which was brought TO London
having length of II feet attained 21 in
ten years; but the growth is quicker IN
the earlier periods of life, this IL foot
specimen being about 4 years Of age. The
males are smaller than the females.
